7/8/2013 8:55:34 AM Posted: 6 years ago Okay. So it looks like we are in a different dimension here today.
I admit, I prefer the blue back panel display over this brown and orange trim. And the options and layout was more intuitive and not so obstructive. The old way was better, and usually it is. =) Anyway, what grade do you give this new look for DDO's site. I give it a C+. It could be better. =) |

7/8/2013 11:48:58 AM Posted: 6 years ago There's nothing wrong with the design, so it doesn't hurt & doesn't help so this rating is entirely based on problems fixed v. problems created.
F- overall (bad homepage, nothing new introduced, expanded opinion page, nothing to improve voting, nothing to make debating more interesting despite all the suggestions thrown their way. There was absolutely nothing better about this change, just a few things got worse.

A "makeover" is by definition only a change in the cosmetics, and I judge it as such. I agree that giving the Opinion section more prominence is a step backwards in terms of fostering debate. |

7/8/2013 10:38:29 PM Posted: 6 years ago B. I like some of the features, but on my browser the rich text fails at transferring my formatting from word and such, the text is like a type writer before I hit review, and I dislike how the notifications are done (it's all the same and hard to make it go away without a lot of clicking). Honestly if they are to keep it like this, they should make the notifications (like the profile pic all the way over) back to the "old" way--same coloring as this to avoid clashing, but "old" same format. Does that make sense? Maybe my problem is because I am using Opera, but I am not switching browsers over this, so yeah.
